Hi, this sounds like a bad hard drive. Some computer repair shops might be able to get into the drive and save some of your files. However you probably will need to replace the hard drive.
Good Luck...

Hello bd35,
Welcome to Fixya!
When you say "slow to boot, very slow in all other aspects." There is a change that your computer might have been infected with a virus. But let's not jump into conclusions, I'm just setting proper expectation here that that can be a cause.
You might want to consider:
- Disconnecting extra peripheral devices i.e. printers, scanners, USB flash drives or ext. HDDs
- Disabling all the start-up items and services, here's how:
1. Click "Start"
2. Click "Run"
3. Type "msconfig"
4. Go to the "Startup" tab and click the "Disable All" button
5. Go to the "Services" tab, check the "Hide all Microsoft services" check box, and click on the
"Disable All" button
6. Click the "Apply" button, and the click "Ok" button.
7. Then "restart the computer.

I had this same problem years ago, couln't fix it in any way. Tried the description on http://www.oborona.net/stuff/qv-r40/eng/index.html (reloading firmware) but even that did't work.
Found my old qv-r40 today, and gave it one more try using the above mentioned solution of updating the firmware. Even though I only did again the same as a few years back (updating the camera with the same firmware), this time it worked. Got my old camera working again!
So I suggest you try the solution by oborona.net, and if it doesn't work get the batteries out and wait for a few days before trying to update the firmware again. You might be lucky like me.
